The Feldman Law Firm

What The Feldman Law Firm does

The Feldman Law Firm LLP is a Houston-based boutique law firm founded in 1992 by Stewart A. Feldman, operating as a Texas Limited Liability Partnership. The firm's practice concentrates on two areas: (i) tax and corporate matters for closely held businesses and their principal owners, encompassing federal/multi-state tax planning, partnership/corporate/trust structures, wealth maintenance and estate planning, deferred compensation and employee benefit design, and international tax planning including captive insurance/alternative risk planning; and (ii) commercial and business litigation in federal and state courts at trial and appellate levels. The firm has developed particular depth in captive insurance law, with Feldman having personally headed up over 120 captive formations through a strategic alliance with Capstone Associated Services, Ltd., where he serves as CEO.

The firm operates with approximately 11 staff, including 6 attorneys and 5 administrative/finance personnel, from a single office in Houston's Central Business District adjacent to the Galleria. Revenue is generated through three pricing models: hourly billing at rates ranging from $175 to $695 per hour (varying by attorney experience), fixed-fee arrangements for non-adversarial matters such as corporate reorganizations and estate planning, and contingency fees for select litigation matters. Client engagement is sales-led, driven primarily through professional referrals from CPAs, financial advisors, and existing clients, supported by the firm's website and content marketing.

The firm's go-to-market targets closely held businesses and their principal owners — a high-touch, relationship-driven segment that values continuity and specialized expertise over scale. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-client within Texas, with no multi-jurisdictional or international footprint. The business model is fundamentally a relationship and expertise-based professional services firm with no technology platform, no software products, and no disclosed AI capabilities. Strategic positioning centers on Feldman's personal brand and reputation as a national captive insurance expert, supplemented by specialized credentials among other attorneys (e.g., NYU LLM in Taxation, Board Certification in Civil Appellate Law).

• BoyarMiller: Houston-based boutique firm representing closely held businesses and entrepreneurs in corporate, tax, and litigation matters. Similar size, similar clientele, and overlapping service mix make it a strong direct comparison.
• Chamberlain Hrdlicka: Houston-based tax-focused law firm with a national footprint. Directly comparable because of its specialty in tax planning, trusts and estates, and closely held business representation — overlapping with Feldman on tax, estate, and corporate advisory work.
• Crain Caton & James: Houston-based full-service firm with a longstanding closely held business, tax, and estate planning practice. Overlaps directly with Feldman on tax, corporate, and wealth planning for owner-operated companies.

Broad incumbents

• Vinson & Elkins LLP: One of the largest Houston-headquartered law firms, with deep energy, corporate, and tax practices. Represents the broader incumbent set that closely held clients may upgrade to as they scale, but does not focus on Feldman's closely held niche.

• Baker Botts L.L.P. Major Houston-founded international law firm with a strong tax, corporate, and litigation bench. Competes for sophisticated corporate and tax work in Houston but at substantially larger scale and broader scope.
• Greenberg Traurig, LLP (Houston): National law firm with a Houston office serving closely held businesses in tax, corporate, and estate planning matters. Overlaps with Feldman on sophisticated owner-related work but is part of a much broader portfolio of practices.
• Norton Rose Fulbright: Global law firm with a significant Houston presence providing corporate, tax, and litigation services. Adjacent incumbent offering overlapping capabilities to closely held and middle-market clients in Texas.

Others

• Capstone Associated Services, Ltd. Captive insurance administration firm founded by Stewart Feldman that operates 80+ captive insurance companies on a turnkey basis. Strategically allied with the law firm — Feldman serves as CEO — making it an ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.
